EN- ROUTE.

The Presidential Parfy's Life ON p Palace
Train-NIrs. Cleveland Rules the Ko0st-
a Notable and Efficient Corps Of Atten-
dants-ArrfvaI at Madison Wisconsin.
MADISON, Wis, Oct. S.-The Presidents
train left Milwaukee yesterday, according
to the illuminated special time scnedue,
half an hour late. The town has 20O,0o0
inhabitants, covers an area OF forty-tWo
square miles, and there seemed to be o
wish on the part of the authorities to show
the President every one both of inhabi-
tants and square miles. Hence the delay
t.Never better" was Mrs. Cleveland's re-
ply 80 an inquiry regarding her health as
she came on board; and the President,
who seemed to be made of iron, responded
for himself with equal heartiness. Both
brought away the impression that Mil
waukee is very orderly town, and they
are agreed that the demonstration
throughout was exceedingly weit-man-,
aged, every contingency having beent
foreseen and provided for. Life on tne'
special train has now settled into home
like routine, deliciously restful, after the
round of surprises and excitements at the
city stopping places. The rumble OF the
wheels, the gentle swaying of the cars,
the flying panorama of forest, field and
hamlet-even the saluting toot and
hubbub Of passing trains have come to
be, for the travellers, among the normal
conditions Of life, while the descents 10
terra frma and the hotel experiences are
It's passing episodes. Though Mrs. Cleve-
land rarely gets time to enter any car bus
her own, an impression has been made
upon the mind of each person on board
that she feels a personal interest in all,
and the President humorously complains
that her wishes are needed, where his
own would be disregarded.
The corps of Pullman attendants, from
Tobias, the chef who invents marvellous
dishes and still more profound mysteries,
up to Arthur, the steward, who invents
names for them, are princes in disguise,
whose attentions would be rather appall-
ing were they not so uniformly unos-
tentatious in demeanor, performing their
services as il they were matters OF
course, and not things to be paid
for. Arthur Wells, the steward, Is
Mr.. Pullman's personal attendant and
the custodian of his private car
wherever it moves. Tobias is the
favorite chef of General Manager Thomp.
son of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
other attendants are the cream of the
Pullman service, having, without excep-
tion, had years of training under the most
favorable conditions. 1t is a matter of
constant wonder how wraps, valises,
books and the smaller nick-nacks of
party, which are never in sight
when they ought to be, turn up in their
places when wanted; and even how things
forgotten, left behind, and supposed to be
lost, make their way back to their
owners. The run to Madison was charm
ing. The villagers along the way sped
the passing train with their cheers, and in
several instances stations and streets were
adorned with evergreens and streamers.
The arrival at Madison was made upon
time, and the presidential party were i'm
mediately conducted to the State Capitol,
where the public reception was held.

Paris quietly. He has become stouter
since his trip to the German watering
places. He is out Of doors nearly all day.
Wednesday morning he drove about the

afternoon he and Mrs. Blaine took a long
walk on the boulevards. Mr.. Blaine is
very shy of speaking about his Homburg

Novel Payment Of n Wager.

Mt. VERNON, Me-, Oct. S.-David Var

Viney, at the head of the silk department
of Denning & Co., entertained the popu-
lace here yesterday morning by the pay
ment of wager on the contest for the
Americas cup, made after the Volunteer
had won the first race. Promptly at q.
m. Mr.. Viney appeared with wheel
barrow and the next instant Mr.. Van Vie,
carrying in his hand white bannerette
with ''Volunteer" painted on it, and in
his left hand bunch Of thistles, with the
trimmings of mourning, took his
seat in the vehicle. The residents
along the route turned out and showered
bouquets of flowers, cheers and ap-
plause on the contestants. There were
three or four dumps in the roadwao on the
way down, but those were nothing to the
rumpetty bumpetty bump of the barrow
and it's rider over the rough stones. Mr..
Van Vie several times considerably pro-
posed to give receipt in full for part
payment of the wager, but Mr.. viney de-
cIared that he would not be so dishonor-
able as to fail to pay his debt in full. They
reached the station with this result: MIR.
Van VIE, dirt-begrimed hands, soiled
clothing and bruised limbs; Mr.. viney,
skin peeled from blistered hands; the
wheelbarrow, one leg broken of.

SALT LAKE. Utah, Oct. The fifty
seventh annual conference Of the Mormon
church, opened in the tabernacle yester-
day. Great interest centers in this meet
ing, as it is the first conference held in
this city for the past three years. During
that time conferences have been held at
smaller towns where poly gamists who
are avoiding arrest could attend with lit
tie chance of arrest by deputy United
States marshals. Interest Is further en-.
hanced by rumors that a successor to
President Taylor win be elected. Only
about four thousand people are present.
Heretofore no less than eight thousand
have attended on opening.

THE WORLD OF FASHION.

Pretty Conceits I'm Ladies' Costumes,
Lacss, Wraps, Gloves, Etc.
Smooth cloths will be used again for
dressy suits, two colors in rather
marked contrast appearing in one cos
tune. For these combina alton cloth
costumes the lighter color will be used
for the lower skirt and vest, with
dark basque and drapery.
Plain and plaid cloths will be seen
together in gowns in the way so popu-
lar for summer ginghams, sateens,
ETC., with the basque OF the plain,
smooth faced cloth, and the skirt with
it's long drapery of large plaided softer
twilled cloth.
The draped and folded vests or
waistcoats so much in favor at present
will remain a feature of winter gowns.
All bodices will be elabnrately
trimmed in front with the exception OF
the tailor made, and the latter will
have narrow fat garniture, in the shape
of smooth vests and slender revers.
One of the prettiest black lace dresses
that we have seen bas the necessary
touches of color produced by three
bands of Gobolin blue ribbon carried
across the front of the skirt under the
lace, forming points at one side and
bows at the other. A V-shaped piece
of velvet of the same color is intro
duced back and front on the bodice,
and there are braces of ribbon velvet,
covered with lace. high collar OF the
velvet. and the sleeves are of the vel
vet, covered with lace. a puff OF the
lace extending from the shoulder to
the elbow.
JERSEYS seem to be restored to all
their old-time favor. They are not so
plain as formerly, but are made with
yokes, plaits and trimmings of various
kinds, which keep them in shape and
serve to conceal defects of the figure
which the plain ones emphasized so
strongly.
Wraps made of cashmere, in dark
shades with loose sleeves and lined
throughout with bright satin. are very
stylish. The trimming is chantilly
lace, about three inches wide, gathered
as fully as possible. and stitched on in
four rows close together. This makes
pretty ruching that is very becoming.

front and about the sleeves and some-
times when the back is slashed up it is
decorated with a row.

offered
The fanchett gloves appear to be
gaining somewhat IN favor, but such
high novelties arc certainly intended
only for the rich, unless they should
become so universal as not to be con-
spleuous, which is not likely to hap
pen. They have the good Effect Of
making the fingers appear long and
slender, and they are stitched on the
back with silk correspo ding with the
shade of the inside of the fingers. APP
pie green of pale and dark shade
and English shrimp and white are
d combinations.

CROWDS mad begun to gather
in the vicinity OF Mayor Fran
cis' residence, anxious to get glimpse Of
city's guests as they emerged for their
morning trip to the Fair grounds, and
when, finally, their patience was re-
warded, they sped the party on their way
with q round of cheers that fairly made
Vandeventer Place ring. Neither the
President or his wife, were prepared for
sight that greeted them at the Fair grounds,
where they arrived after short drive,
for there were assembled fully sixty thou
sand of the men and women of the future,
from the little ones of six years to the
misses and masters of more advanced
ages, but still classed as children. All that
it would hold were seated in the amphi-
theater, the kindergarten classes being
first cared for, and then the three thousand
who had been selected to sing the well
come to the visitors. After q somewhat
tedious wait the cavalcade with the Presi-
dents carriage at the head made it's
appearance, and was driven into the
arena, and then the little throats opened
and gave forth such a cheer of welcome
as must have gone deep into the hearts
of the recipients. It was spontaneous, it
was genuine, there was no deception
about it; it was the homage of the rising
generation to the recognized head of the
Nation and his beautiful wife--the
first lady in all the land. After
the cheering had subsided, the chill
dren, led by Postlewaite's band,
broke forth in the National hymn

nounce to you that the dissensions
which have existed in our ranks since
the date of the last Congressional
Convention, have been entirely healed

In conclusion, we beg that in the
